Описание: Miles Fletcher examines the role of the Japanese business community in helping the nation solve an unprecedented combination of economic challenges in the 1920s and 1930s: chronic trade deficits, world depression, rampant protectionism, and mobilization for war in Asia. Because of such severe crises, business executives changed their attitudes toward foreign trade and types of national economic policies needed to succeed in a global marketplace.<BR><BR>After trade deficits began occurring in the 1920s, business leaders and business groups became obsessed with finding ways of expanding trade and ensuring a healthy balance of exports and imports. The onset of worldwide depression in 1930 brought trade barriers to Japanese exports in every major market, and the failure of the World Economic Conference in London in 1933 made prospects even more bleak. The idea that companies in each industrial sector would have to cooperate through national cartels began to take hold.<BR><BR>Although the business community did not always operate as a unified interest group, its leaders in the interwar decades made progressively more effective attempts to secure a consensus on important proposals. As trade problems mounted, businessmen in many instances urged the increased national control of trade, with government officials and corporate executives working together to form policies.<BR><BR>According to Fletcher, business attitudes toward foreign trade and the role of the government that developed during the economic crises of the 1920s and 1930s helped make Japan an economic power today. Japan is an economic power today because of the techniques developed during the period of economic crisis following World War I. After World War II, business leaders once again collaborated closely with the government to guide the nation to economic recovery and then to prominence as a trading power. Fletcher concludes that the travails of the interwar period forged a conviction that the Japanese business community has maintained well into the 1980s as a guiding concept: the task of expanding Japan's international trade resembles a form of competitive warfare demanding national strategies.<BR><BR>A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.

Описание: This book adopts an international perspective to examine how the online sale of insurance challenges the insurance regulation and the insurance contract, with a focus on insurance sales, consumer protection, cyber risks and privacy, as well as dispute resolution. Today insurers, policyholders, intermediaries and regulators interact in an increasingly online world with profound implications for what has up to now been a traditionally operating industry. While the growing threats to consumer and business data from cyber attacks constitute major sources of risk for insurers, at the same time cyber insurance has become the fastest growing commercial insurance product in many jurisdictions.Scholars and practitioners from Europe, the United States and Asia review these topics from the viewpoints of insurers, policyholders and insurance intermediaries. In some cases, existing insurance regulations appear readily adaptable to the online world, such as prohibitions on deceptive marketing of insurance products and unfair commercial practices, which can be applied to advertising through social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as to traditional written material. In other areas, current regulatory and business practices are proving to be inadequate to the task and new ones are emerging. For example, the insurance industry and insurance supervisors are exploring how to review, utilize, profit from and regulate the explosive growth of data mining and predictive analytics (“big data”), which threaten long-standing privacy protection and insurance risk classification laws.This book’s ambitious international scope matches its topics. The online insurance market is cross-territorial and cross-jurisdictional with insurers often operating internationally and as part of larger financial-services holding companies. The authors’ exploration of these issues from the vantage points of some of the world’s largest insurance markets – the U.S., Europe and Japan – provides a comparative framework, which is necessary for the understanding of online insurance.
Описание: The world is facing an energy crisis. As the finite supply of fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil upon which we depend dwindle - indeed, some scientists predict that oil could run out within the next 45 years - humanity must look to renewable sources of energy to generate power. But how efficient and sustainable are alternative energy sources such as wind, wave and solar power? And is it safe to continue using nuclear power? Can we as individuals make a difference? This book looks at our current use of energy and at what the future is likely to hold. The information comes from a variety of sources, including government reports and statistics, newspapers and magazine articles, surveys and polls, academic research and literature from charities and lobby groups; articles have been tailored to an 11 to 14 age group. Additionally, at the end of each chapter are two pages of activities relating to the articles and issues raised in that chapter.

Описание: In their investigation of the potential impact that the introduction of autonomous vehicles (AVs) could have on automobile insurance in the United States, researchers found that the existing U.S. auto insurance system should be sufficiently flexible to accommodate the initial introduction of AVs, particularly for operators of AV fleets. Consumer acceptance of AVs will be an important factor for new or adaptive automobile insurance frameworks.

Описание: Never Say Never is the only book to offer a practical plan to make American business 100-percent crisis-ready. Does your business need a crash course in risk management? Research shows an estimated one-quarter to one-third of all American businesses still have no crisis plan, six years after September 11 provided a corporate wakeup call. Len Biegel, an international crisis management expert, draws from his own experience with the famous Tylenol product-tampering case and similar high-profile corporate nightmares, laying bare some of the best and worst cases of crisis response, and offering some hard lessons learned. He examines the reasons why individuals and companies resist preparing for crisis, and knocks down every excuse. Biegel, President of The Biegel Group, has counseled many Fortune 500 corporations and trade groups on crisis planning and has played an active role in creating their strategic plans. His client list has included American Airlines, General Electric, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Hershey Foods, Tyco International and others. Biegel contends we need to make crisis readiness a corporate governance issue, and he provides a clear plan for reaching that goal.
Post-crisis capital regulations and new failure-resolution rules increased the funding costs that are borne by bank shareholders, and thus the cost to buy-side firms for access to space on the balance sheets of large banks. A policy implication is the encouragement of market infrastructure and trading methods that reduce the amount of space on bank balance sheets that is needed to conduct a given amount of trade.
Using models and evidence, this book addresses the implications for financial-market liquidity of these regulations for systemically important banks and argues that current rules do not allow for potential levels of market efficiency and financial stability. In this insightful analysis of the impact of regulation on financial market efficiency post-2008, the author argues that bank capital levels could actually be pushed higher while still improving the liquidity of markets for safe assets such as low-risk fixed-income instruments by relaxing the leverage-ratio rule and increasing risk-based capital requirements.
